I am a huge fan of hazelnuts, especially when it is mixed with chocolate!

This recipe consists of a fine homemade chocolate made of cacao butter and raw cacao powder, sweetened with raw, unheated honey, and pure vanilla extract from Madagascar.

The hazelnut cream filling adds a smooth creamy finish to the chocolate that truly melts in your mouth. I am using my homemade hazelnut butter recipe which contains just 1 ingredient and it so easy to make.

What if you wanted to fill your chocolate with a chocolate hazelnut spread instead? I would tell you you should!!! 🙂

Using a chocolate hazelnut cream instead gives these chocolates an even more intense chocolate flavor which is perfect for us chocolate lovers!

This is exactly what a reader (bocadostudio) did and she sent me this photo. Are you drooling like me just by looking at this photo? She's a photographer and she was really able to give this chocolate recipe justice through her lens.
